A member asked:

Dad 70 yrs did bone marrow for his anemia. dr. said that results show no cancer and no mds. just low rbc production in bone marrow. is it aplastic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aplasia: Aplastic implies no RBC production. Sounds like your dad has impaired RBC production but not true aplasia.
